Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Iran has carried out its long-promised retaliation for Israel’s attack on its consulate building in Damascus, launching a massive barrage of drones and missiles which it claims hit and destroyed Israeli military targets, while Israel says they dealt only superficial damage with a few injuries. The US and its allies
Let’s not be too quick to draw any conclusions about US sensibility. They dont want to start WW III but really what it is is they dont want to have to distract from the important work of continued methodical mass murder - genocide - in palestine is probably all.
Note however that the US, which has been giving Israel 2000 pound bombs to drop on the heads of women and children in Palestine, instead of cutting off the Israelis and setting up a no-fly zone over palestine……….has spent hundreds of millions of dollars so far to try prevent Yemen from blockading Israel and hundreds of millions more dollars yesterday alone to shoot down Iranian missiles heading for Israel.
Whether or not the US is not yet ready for WW III - it’s a murderous state willing to commit billlions of dollars to ENSURING genocide. Which is sickening. It makes me want to vomit literally.
Eleni sent this interview with Michael Hudson about the conduct of the war against Palestinians, which is patterned as the war against the Vietnamese people was patterned during that war, based upon the systems analysis paradigm of Physicist, Herman Kahn, who was the inspiration for "Dr. Strangelove" in that movie, and explored the theory of "winnable" nuclear war, as well as the "Strategic Hamlets" initiative in Vietnam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn
Kahn was a founding member of the Hudson Institute, and also worked as a military analyst and strategist at the similar Rand Corporation. Michael Hudson was brought into the Hudson institute after the publication of his expose book, Super Imperialism in 1972. This was adopted as an operations manual for US global currency policy, as it portrayed the $US as being supported more by the necessity of buying oil and other trade items in $US, than by the gold backing, which had just been "suspended", as the US ran out of gold.
Hudson, therefore attended many high level strategic meetings with Kahn over a period of several years. He describes Kahn's analysis of the interventions necessary to destroy the system which supports people in a society. This included removing people from communities and putting them into tightly controlled compounds, "Strategic hamlets", which Israel has done with Gaza, and also the isolation of West Bank Palestinian communities from each other.
"Killing all of the journalists" was a lesson learned by the US during the Vietnam War, when diffusion of actual knowledge of the horrors of war ruined societal support for the war. ("Hey, hey, LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?") This is being carried out in Gaza and the Palestinian West Bank villages. Destruction of hospitals and of food supplies is critical. The message to humanitarian organizations to "go back home" was very effectively conveyed by the killing of 7 aid workers by 3 waves of drone attacks, until they were all dead and burned. Ships turned around. The mission closed down. Aid Workers, Hospitals and Doctors are at the "top of the target list" with Journalists.
The US promptly stopped funding for UNRWA, based on a few tortured confessions from UNRWA workers in Israeli prisons, and has blocked it until 2025, despite that background being revealed.
All of this is to make it impossible to live in Gaza, and to enforce death by starvation, which is less dramatic than bombing, upon all the Palestinians who will not leave.
Israel is the US/Western "aircraft carrier:" in the oil-producing Mideast, which LBJ (and others) have said "would have to be invented if it did not exist".
Hudson explores the threat to global oil supply and prices, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, and how the US/Israel/West might be able to prevent that, such as by developing a pretext for massive attacks upon Iran, perhaps nuclear. Currently, Iran is being careful to avoid providing such a pretext for nuclear attack, after the provocation of the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus Syria last week.
The upshot is that this is the same coordinated policy as in Vietnam, and has been continuous in Israel/Palestine since the meetings Hudson attended during the Nixon administration in the early 1970s. The window-dressing for the American and western public is propaganda, and it is not effectively overriding the actual images people see, but it is delaying any real action to stop the genocide, while the starvation, bombing and destruction of all support-systems grinds forward.
Hudson points out that the only currently anti-war candidate running for POTUS is the Green Party Candidate, Jill Stein MD..
He discusses the plans to convert Gaza to an Israeli luxury development, with piers for yachts, installed by Americans. These purport to carry in food, but that is not happening.
Hudson reports Israeli deals with India for construction after the expulsion of Palestinians. He reports that the lack of money in supporting Palestinians helps drive the genocide.
The imperial project, as he lays it out, is the successful financialization of Genocide.

UN Security Council fails to grant full UN membership to Palestine

Congress Introduces ADL-Backed 'Countering Antisemitism Act' to Police Online Speech
A bipartisan pair of AIPAC-funded senators have introduced a new bill backed by the Anti-Defamation League aimed at silencing criticism of Jews and Israel and policing Americans' online speech.
The bill comes as Israel is committing an active genocide of Palestinians with US-supplied bombs and inducing a man-made famine in Gaza.
"The Countering Antisemitism Act is the most far-reaching antisemitism initiative to be introduced in Congress," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said Thursday on X. "It offers a smart, bipartisan, whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to combating this hatred and protecting Jews around the country."
Thank you for all this information. I hadn't heard about this new antisemitism act at all. Nicki Haley, while she was running for the Republican nomination, mentioned several times she wanted to see a law to this effect. What a boon it would be to the Zionists if that were passed. Already in Germany, no one is allowed to show support for the Palestinians or question Israel's actions. The covid pandemic lockdowns, coerced vaccinations and destruction of small businesses was a dress rehearsal to begin iron-fisted control on an even greater scale.
Yanis Varoufakis just got banned from Germany, including the ban on his virtual image, for speaking at a Palestinian rights conference there, which was shut down by the police.
I watched George Galloway's stream last night and funny you should bring up this subject because I have been paying attention to the actual implementation of this type of control and censorship which George happens to mention too now! There appears to be in Britain some rumours of making his party (The Worker's Party) an illegal entity! There is also all the Filthy Zionist mouthpieces here in the US as referring to We The People as "Domestic Terrorist"! We are quite literally At War with these Zionist Nazis and they are definitely The Enemy!
During this 21st century there is a pattern for everyone to see. It started with our many Middle Eastern wars that killed and displaced millions of people. Those countries have never recovered, and then it was onto Biden, and the US/Ukraine/Russia war since it had been set in motion during the Obama administration. Israel/Palestine was next since it's hard to believe Israel would implement this genocidal attack on Gaza if it wasn't assured from the beginning of US military support. One knew Iran was going to be targeted since there were and are many in the political arena who even said out loud, and some even made it lyrical, bomb, bomb Iran. I don't believe for one moment things will end well. Hard to believe Israel just stirred things up a bit for no intended purpose. Ultimately the ending will not be good for anyone.
"Although the White House claimed that Israel acted alone in bombing Damascus, that is unlikely. Israeli strikes on Syria are regularly coordinated with the US military. As the Wall Street Journal reported in June 2022, “many of Israel’s missions for several years have been reviewed in advance for approval by senior officials at U.S. Central Command and at the Pentagon.” The six Israeli missiles that struck the consulate were delivered via a US-supplied F-35 military jets."
"And even if Israel’s unprecedented bombing of an Iranian consulate – considered sovereign Iranian territory under international norms – was undertaken without US knowledge, the Biden administration offered its tacit endorsement by refusing to condemn it."
You can't shed the exceptionalism stench once it's all over you, and both Israel (Yahweh's chosen people) and the US (Look at our new toy, the western hemisphere belongs to us) stink-up anything the thugs might offer in their own defense because the ultra-narcissist "we're better than anyone else on the planet" just doesn't fly anymore, if it ever did.

I believe Bibi wants WW3 to get world domination, he already owns the US because any high serving politicians like a president have to go to Israel first and swear allegiance to them and kiss the wall BEFORE they can take the office in the US which I find really weird. The Israel we're talking about is the one from 1948, not the Holy Land from the time of our Lord. Bibi is a globalist who wants everything his way and he owns allot of countries but especially the US.
"I believe Bibi wants WW3 to get world domination, he already owns the US because any high serving politicians like a president have to go to Israel first and swear allegiance to them and kiss the wall BEFORE they can take the office in the US which I find really weird."
Every year members of Congress go to Israel to sweat really. And anyone running for any position at all levels of government have to sweat fealty or they don’t get elected. Look at what happened to Nina Turner and now with all the progressives Israel doesn’t like. That’s what made the whole Russia Russia Russia debacle so silly. Weird how shitlibs never call Israel’s hold on our government out.
AIPAC flooded her opponent with millions and placed lots of ads against her. It was very blatant and she of course lost.
AIPAC is pledging millions to the opponents of many progressives that have been critical of Israel. Lots of people want AIPAC to register as a foreign lobby, but congress will never allow it to happen.
watching the Wilkerson interview. Very good. Thanks for the link. Very sad that even our ex military officers and ex CIA like Ray McGovern see the U.S. is a dying country. Maybe it's not so sad. Monsters deserve to die.
Pauline not only is the USA a dying Country - they sold us out to the highest bidder. No other reasonable explanation how you could destroy an entire Country in two short years. Complete and total lawlessness which was deliberately encouraged. NYC - GONE! San Francisco - GONE! Chicago, Denver, Atlanta - ALL GONE
It may have excellerated in 2 years, but the hollowing out of America has been a the works for several decades. NAFTA and other trade agreements that saw our jobs and factories offshored was a great start for the psychos in charge.
Totally agree Sam but in my personal opinion that was all about greed and wealth - I think this was more about knowing there was no coming back from the "hollowing out' and at least they could get something back for what little was left.
I mean LOOK AT THIS PICTURE! The "alleged" greatest Country in the world is now a third world Country!
The funniest thing about the rapture is going to be the surprised look on the pro rapture people’s faces when they find that they have been left behind. Too bad that I won’t be there to see it.
I hope it's not the whole world involved in this 'rapture.'
When the British Colonialists started dying they kept going with little wars/just to make sure the British were still in the game. Then the British knowing the game was lost tied themselves to the USA and have been their serfs ever since.
My guess is as I have said above: the USA knows it has no chance of winning against Russia/China so they will foment wars in the Middle east.
However the Middle East...Iran/Persia are a lot smarter than the US
We will see what happens. We the people have NO chance in this game....Colonialists come and go usually by over-extending themselves.
As it is the US is finished which is why we are where we are.
As anyone with half a wit Knows, the AIPAC owns the US government. It matters not that it is by bribery, coercion, sexual extortion or control of media or banking. What matters is that the Terrorist, Apartheid, genocidal state has many agents in the US Senate, House, and several state legislatures as well as financial coercion over Everyone attempting to get or hold an office in government. The Ukraine conflict can presumably be laid at feet of this Zionist regime as well. This is from the Horses mouth;
"America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the worlds biggest welfare state that we will create and control… This is what we do to the countries that we hate. We destroy them slowly.”
—— Benjamin Netanyahu 1990
"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.”-
Benjamin Netanyahu–March 2019 as told to the Likud Party’s members of the Knesset
If what you said was true. Then that would also apply to the likud party of Israel. Netanyahu is on record saying the American Zion Christian churches are merely Useful idiots, that He hates America and wants to destroy it. That supporting Hamas is the best method of avoiding a Palestinian state. Really no different than US control of Ukraine we are destroying, and the many dictators we have installed and supported across the world. Use them up, discard them.
I find Netanyahu's statements above quite interesting, and I wonder if you could provide me with verifiable sources. The reason I ask is that I like to get context and circumstances related to such statements, in order to understand them and their sources better, and also because in some of my discussions I am often doubted, especially when the statement is politically dangerous or hot. The idea of extracting all current available value from a set of resources leaving nothing for the future is a familiar one in European (White) (barbarian-raider) capitalism, but the Zionists < Israelis < Jews are supposed to operate under a different understanding of time. (It's an old saying that "When God made time, he made plenty of it," which somewhat expresses this view.)
This consideration would not apply to Christian "Zionists" who make a few obscure lines of scripture do a mighty lot of work suitable for the reversed proverb "Harder, not smarter."
Let's stop pretending that Biden is in charge of anything or that he can stop Bibi.
The "Jewish Lobby" may have been responsible for the Kennedy assassination and the WTC disaster. It is definitely helping to funnel the wealth of America ever upward.
Allowing them to hide behind the ADL and AIPAC is equivalent to allowing Al Capone to run Chicago.
When something as insane as this video is accepted as "truth", there will be no reconciliation.
The trajectory of where this goes is entirely predictable as the actors and their modus operandi are all too clear. What remains to be seen is whether the American public will put their foot down strongly enough and quickly enough and say “nothing doing” to stop this mindless, bloodthirsty machinery in its tracks.
A Parseeker - tell me what you think regarding how this will play out because no one else seems to have any idea's which is what I keep searching for. I hope war breaks out because Israel and the USA don't stand a chance and perhaps the US already knows this. I see Russia being the worlds next super power and or multi-power but also putting an end to all of this. Let Israel attack Iran because Iran can easily wipe Israel off the map. Then let the USA get involved because Russia will take care of the that and need be China and even North Korea!
Perhaps WWIII is exactly what the US needs in order to return it to NORMAL CIVILAZATION.
Agreed, but the US will back down I believe. After 30 years of military adventures in the Middle East bearing no fruit but a heavy cost burden, it is very hard for me to imagine a US leader selling the public on *another* major war in the Middle East.
I truly believe the USA wouldn't stand a chance fighting itself - it has depleted itself of everything! Our servicemen alone is at the all time lowest recruitment it has ever been. Israel is so desperate for manpower they're now trying to force the ultra Orthodox to enlist. Meanwhile, Russia, China, Iran and Turkey have 2 million "trained" service men standing by! We also know the Russian Armed Forces have the world's largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, in addition to . . . the world's second-largest fleet of ballistic missile submarines
About a year ago, I read a policy paper from one of the main MIC think tanks. The war against Iran is proceeding play-by-play following that paper. Brian Berletic (aka Tony Cartalucci) provided the link, but I'm too lazy to look it up for you. Anyway ...
The paper said that the US couldn't just attack Iran because people wouldn't go along. The US needs to goad Iran into doing something against western interests that would galvanize public support. So, what do we get?
Oh, oh, stop the genocide! (Here are some more bombs.)
'Israel' must not retaliate! (Here are some more planes.)
Yup, all according to plan. The only thing the paper was silent on is, how is the US supposed to win?
And we will continue to live here unless we decide to leave. The government might be changed or collapse into the free and independent States, which would be a damn sight better for the world.
If Netanyahu's aim with all this provocation and war mongering is to dominate the world, the way he is going about it is not going to leave much of a world to dominate. He needs to be in prison where he can have his fantasies without putting the earth and all that lives on it in danger.
All that means, especially taking into account the feeble Iranian response, is that Israel will just push harder and its American thug will be more emboldened.
Which is smart policy as all Iran wants is recognition that it is unequivocally Israel's and its western allies responsibility - initial and further escalation.
Even the thickest public currently under the iron dome of western propaganda should get it that Israel is not to be believed.
BUT you tell me 'Oh mighty Cat' what you think Iran should have done.
My Zappa cat would have 'laid waste to the USA.' Starting with annihilating Washington DC.
WHY can you not do it yourselves.. Where are the people with guns?
We are all fed up to the teeth with US hegemony in bringing enlightenment to the world in the name of democracy which you have NOT had since Reagan.
WHAT THE FUCK IS DEMOCRACY when it is owned by Israel?
You 'rattle on' about Europe (your teeth must hurt) and to a certain extent you are right.
ONE fact that you always miss is that we had 2 world wars in Europe................the USA has had NO bombs dropped on them..ever.
Americans are armed to the teeth with guns but these COWARDS sit in their homes hoping all will be well and hoping someone else will be demolished before the USA
What are all your guns for?
Yes we are cowards in Europe BUT the cowardice in the US is second to none!
Jenny: Wow. You advocate getting out guns and going on a shooting spree. You have really learned a lot from living in Europe. Annihilating Washington DC? What,?do you think the politicians there are using civilians as human shields? You are sounding like a version of someone we have all been talking about. Just mow them all down with the excuse that you are just trying to get rid of the "terrorists". I think you are losing it, Jenny. Take some big breaths and think about other ways to resist than going out and shooting everyone in sight.
Yep. Here in North America most of us get up in the morning and we think to ourselves hmmm, I wonder what school I can shoot up today. It really does get exhausting sometimes. Enough to make a person consider moving to Germany or some other nice European country because, you know, Europeans are brave and moral.
"Yes we are cowards in Europe BUT the cowardice in the US is second to none!" - I guess your cowardice should top that of the US's. Since it's you who are stupid enough to suffer from war destruction and not the US.
Who benefited from wars? The USA. Who suffered from them - and does now from all the currently cut ties with Russia? Europe. So who's IDIOT, Jenny? You - Europe. Congratulations, you win the stupid and no one's even close.
As to the guns of the Americans - only the thickest of them believe they are protection from the government. And many are that thick indeed. But those guns are worthless, Jenny. If you hear any American telling you otherwise know right away - it's an IDIOT you're talking to.
Iran either should have used enough force to actually hurt Israel or done nothing.
At least the American hillbilly can tell himself the cold comfort that he is a citizen of the Empire. The euroserf can't even do that, but he still gets slapped around for someone else's empire.
I don't have the knowledge to comment as well as others in this thread so I will just say whatever entities are pulling Israel's strings "They are Stark Raving Mad". They should have no allies in their madness.
Biden won’t be making any demands against Israel, right before an election where some of his biggest donors are Jewish. He’ll continue to walk the tight-rope until after November.
None of this makes sense - why would Iran retaliate but cause no harm when in fact they have the capability of annihilating Israel? Something stinks here! Furthermore, since when are we quoting let alone putting an ounce of credence in NBC - mainstream media in addition to the WH and or Biden? Have I been asleep - when did any of these have even a modicum of credibility?
What was even more alarming was this
"And thank all that is holy for that. A war between the US alliance and Iran and its allies would be the stuff of nightmares, making the horrors we’ve been seeing in Gaza these last six months look like an episode of Peppa Pig."
So instead, the people of Gaza continued to be slaughtered? When is anyone else's life greater than theirs? How does anyone expect this to end if not war? Does anyone truly believe a cease fire would work let alone last? Or that all will and should be forgiven? Those 100,000 Palestinians lives didn't matter? Because we all know the figure is much higher than what is being broadcast.
Unlike the people of Gaza the people of Israel have every chance to leave and escape. Already one million have fled to Europe and the USA and the rest should follow suit. The time has come to put an end to all the people completely responsible for their murder of these innocent civilians. If you're worried about an eventual attack and or WWII then leave now. You reap what you sow.
Let’s not be too quick to draw any conclusions about US sensibility. They dont want to start WW III but really what it is is they dont want to have to distract from the important work of continued methodical mass murder - genocide - in palestine is probably all.
Note however that the US, which has been giving Israel 2000 pound bombs to drop on the heads of women and children in Palestine, instead of cutting off the Israelis and setting up a no-fly zone over palestine……….has spent hundreds of millions of dollars so far to try prevent Yemen from blockading Israel and hundreds of millions more dollars yesterday alone to shoot down Iranian missiles heading for Israel.

have really horrific material outcomes for the whole of humanity ...
During this 21st century there is a pattern for everyone to see. It started with our many Middle Eastern wars that killed and displaced millions of people. Those countries have never recovered, and then it was onto Biden, and the US/Ukraine/Russia war since it had been set in motion during the Obama administration. Israel/Palestine was next since it's hard to believe Israel would implement this genocidal attack on Gaza if it wasn't assured from the beginning of US military support.

Why exactly does the US feel the need to back Israel if Israel attacks Iran?
In my view the US has always had it's sights on Iran.
These are 2 thugs(old war mentality) who think they own the world......it' not YOUR world because you own so much weaponry.
You can't shed the exceptionalism stench once it's all over you, and both Israel (Yahweh's chosen people) and the US (Look at our new toy, the western hemisphere belongs to us) stink-up anything the thugs might offer in their own defense because the ultra-narcissist "we're better than anyone else on the planet" just doesn't fly anymore, if it ever did.
US: "We don't want to join Israel's attack upon Iran."
The quiet part: "Until there is a false-flag against us."

Excellent post...absolute truth...They OWN the U.S. congress lock stock and barrel
I believe Bibi wants WW3 to get world domination, he already owns the US because any high serving politicians like a president have to go to Israel first and swear allegiance to them and kiss the wall BEFORE they can take the office in the US which I find really weird. The Israel we're talking about is the one from 1948, not the Holy Land from the time of our Lord. Bibi is a globalist who wants everything his way and he owns allot of countries but especially the US.
"I believe Bibi wants WW3 to get world domination, he already owns the US because any high serving politicians like a president have to go to Israel first and swear allegiance to them and kiss the wall BEFORE they can take the office in the US which I find really weird."
Russia and China feel differently.
Personally at this point I'm pulling for the latter.
Every year members of Congress go to Israel to sweat really. And anyone running for any position at all levels of government have to sweat fealty or they don’t get elected. Look at what happened to Nina Turner and now with all the progressives Israel doesn’t like. That’s what made the whole Russia Russia Russia debacle so silly. Weird how shitlibs never call Israel’s hold on our government out.
I don't know what happened to Nina Turner?
AIPAC flooded her opponent with millions and placed lots of ads against her. It was very blatant and she of course lost.
AIPAC is pledging millions to the opponents of many progressives that have been critical of Israel. Lots of people want AIPAC to register as a foreign lobby, but congress will never allow it to happen.
Wonderful democracy at work!
This is a very good analysis by Wilkerson. The US won't learn, maybe can't learn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUS4tMOgL6E
too much money for the MIC involved to care about "learning"
can't spend it after you're dead. I wonder how many believe we are on the eve of the so called Rapture so it won't matter anyway.
watching the Wilkerson interview. Very good. Thanks for the link. Very sad that even our ex military officers and ex CIA like Ray McGovern see the U.S. is a dying country. Maybe it's not so sad. Monsters deserve to die.
Pauline not only is the USA a dying Country - they sold us out to the highest bidder. No other reasonable explanation how you could destroy an entire Country in two short years. Complete and total lawlessness which was deliberately encouraged. NYC - GONE! San Francisco - GONE! Chicago, Denver, Atlanta - ALL GONE
It may have excellerated in 2 years, but the hollowing out of America has been a the works for several decades. NAFTA and other trade agreements that saw our jobs and factories offshored was a great start for the psychos in charge.
Totally agree Sam but in my personal opinion that was all about greed and wealth - I think this was more about knowing there was no coming back from the "hollowing out' and at least they could get something back for what little was left.
I mean LOOK AT THIS PICTURE! The "alleged" greatest Country in the world is now a third world Country!
The funniest thing about the rapture is going to be the surprised look on the pro rapture people’s faces when they find that they have been left behind. Too bad that I won’t be there to see it.
I hope it's not the whole world involved in this 'rapture.'
When the British Colonialists started dying they kept going with little wars/just to make sure the British were still in the game. Then the British knowing the game was lost tied themselves to the USA and have been their serfs ever since.
My guess is as I have said above: the USA knows it has no chance of winning against Russia/China so they will foment wars in the Middle east.
However the Middle East...Iran/Persia are a lot smarter than the US
We will see what happens. We the people have NO chance in this game....Colonialists come and go usually by over-extending themselves.
As it is the US is finished which is why we are where we are.
"not enough dentists, not enough optometrists"
What? You mean all the US citizens won't have shiny white teeth!
Yes. Thanks for the link.
As anyone with half a wit Knows, the AIPAC owns the US government. It matters not that it is by bribery, coercion, sexual extortion or control of media or banking. What matters is that the Terrorist, Apartheid, genocidal state has many agents in the US Senate, House, and several state legislatures as well as financial coercion over Everyone attempting to get or hold an office in government. The Ukraine conflict can presumably be laid at feet of this Zionist regime as well. This is from the Horses mouth;
"America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the worlds biggest welfare state that we will create and control… This is what we do to the countries that we hate. We destroy them slowly.”
—— Benjamin Netanyahu 1990
"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.”-
Benjamin Netanyahu–March 2019 as told to the Likud Party’s members of the Knesset
if AIPAC (that is, Israel) really owned the US government, they would take better care of it. It would be tgo useful to waste heedlessly.
If what you said was true. Then that would also apply to the likud party of Israel. Netanyahu is on record saying the American Zion Christian churches are merely Useful idiots, that He hates America and wants to destroy it. That supporting Hamas is the best method of avoiding a Palestinian state. Really no different than US control of Ukraine we are destroying, and the many dictators we have installed and supported across the world. Use them up, discard them.
I find Netanyahu's statements above quite interesting, and I wonder if you could provide me with verifiable sources. The reason I ask is that I like to get context and circumstances related to such statements, in order to understand them and their sources better, and also because in some of my discussions I am often doubted, especially when the statement is politically dangerous or hot. The idea of extracting all current available value from a set of resources leaving nothing for the future is a familiar one in European (White) (barbarian-raider) capitalism, but the Zionists < Israelis < Jews are supposed to operate under a different understanding of time. (It's an old saying that "When God made time, he made plenty of it," which somewhat expresses this view.)
This consideration would not apply to Christian "Zionists" who make a few obscure lines of scripture do a mighty lot of work suitable for the reversed proverb "Harder, not smarter."

"Jewish Lobby"
Let's stop pretending that Biden is in charge of anything or that he can stop Bibi.
The "Jewish Lobby" may have been responsible for the Kennedy assassination and the WTC disaster. It is definitely helping to funnel the wealth of America ever upward.
Allowing them to hide behind the ADL and AIPAC is equivalent to allowing Al Capone to run Chicago.
When something as insane as this video is accepted as "truth", there will be no reconciliation.

The trajectory of where this goes is entirely predictable as the actors and their modus operandi are all too clear. What remains to be seen is whether the American public will put their foot down strongly enough and quickly enough and say “nothing doing” to stop this mindless, bloodthirsty machinery in its tracks.
A Parseeker - tell me what you think regarding how this will play out because no one else seems to have any idea's which is what I keep searching for. I hope war breaks out because Israel and the USA don't stand a chance and perhaps the US already knows this. I see Russia being the worlds next super power and or multi-power but also putting an end to all of this. Let Israel attack Iran because Iran can easily wipe Israel off the map. Then let the USA get involved because Russia will take care of the that and need be China and even North Korea!
Perhaps WWIII is exactly what the US needs in order to return it to NORMAL CIVILAZATION.
Agreed, but the US will back down I believe. After 30 years of military adventures in the Middle East bearing no fruit but a heavy cost burden, it is very hard for me to imagine a US leader selling the public on *another* major war in the Middle East.
I truly believe the USA wouldn't stand a chance fighting itself - it has depleted itself of everything! Our servicemen alone is at the all time lowest recruitment it has ever been. Israel is so desperate for manpower they're now trying to force the ultra Orthodox to enlist. Meanwhile, Russia, China, Iran and Turkey have 2 million "trained" service men standing by! We also know the Russian Armed Forces have the world's largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, in addition to . . . the world's second-largest fleet of ballistic missile submarines
here's another
Iran, Russia and China surely quaking in their boots.
Meanwhile - our military. https://t.co/mFnNy31iCJ

exactly what I was eluding to - more problems for the USA
https://sputnikglobe.com/20240413/game-over-persian-gulf-powers-reportedly-refuse-to-give-us-access-to-bases-for-anti-iran-strikes-1117907501.html
About a year ago, I read a policy paper from one of the main MIC think tanks. The war against Iran is proceeding play-by-play following that paper. Brian Berletic (aka Tony Cartalucci) provided the link, but I'm too lazy to look it up for you. Anyway ...
The paper said that the US couldn't just attack Iran because people wouldn't go along. The US needs to goad Iran into doing something against western interests that would galvanize public support. So, what do we get?
Oh, oh, stop the genocide! (Here are some more bombs.)
'Israel' must not retaliate! (Here are some more planes.)
Yup, all according to plan. The only thing the paper was silent on is, how is the US supposed to win?
I think I read about the desire to get rid of Iran years ago and like you (Lou Pintada) I still believe it will happen.
Because of Ukraine I think the US MIGHT have learned that there is NO hope of defeating Russia or China.
US will keep making more smaller incursions until they run out of money and weapons.
I would be joyous if the US was gone. Been too long and too many people have died in the name of democracy.
"I would be joyous if the US was gone. Been too long and too many people have died in the name of democracy."
You and me both Jenny. Trouble is, I live in the US. OOPs.
"... name of democracy":
https://indi.ca/the-rules-based-order-is-the-violation-of-international-law/
I am sorry Lou that you live where you do but it's about time the US understood war.
We had a rather ugly episode in the 1860s but it's been a while.
And we will continue to live here unless we decide to leave. The government might be changed or collapse into the free and independent States, which would be a damn sight better for the world.
Where will you go to?
While you are fighting immigration on your borders we too are doing so in Europe. Maybe Mexico will allow a few Americans in.
Who knows. Depends on the circumstances, of course. Where do any refugees go? Wherever they can.
If this isn't the one you were looking for, it points to the right one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45hiIG_LZi8
Lou - they won't and can't but Russia will!
If Netanyahu's aim with all this provocation and war mongering is to dominate the world, the way he is going about it is not going to leave much of a world to dominate. He needs to be in prison where he can have his fantasies without putting the earth and all that lives on it in danger.
All that means, especially taking into account the feeble Iranian response, is that Israel will just push harder and its American thug will be more emboldened.
I don't think Iran was using all the weapons at it's disposal it was just a tit-for-tat.
I agree that Israel will push harder and will still be backed by Biden.
They assuredly didn't but these half-measures just encourage escalation.
Which is smart policy as all Iran wants is recognition that it is unequivocally Israel's and its western allies responsibility - initial and further escalation.
Even the thickest public currently under the iron dome of western propaganda should get it that Israel is not to be believed.
OR the USA.
We have reached a turning point now.
We cannot support the USA/Israel
Who's "we", Jenny? What do you mean by "cannot"? I think Europe is full on Israel's side. Haven't you heard from your democratic leaders already?
Maybe.
BUT you tell me 'Oh mighty Cat' what you think Iran should have done.
My Zappa cat would have 'laid waste to the USA.' Starting with annihilating Washington DC.
WHY can you not do it yourselves.. Where are the people with guns?
We are all fed up to the teeth with US hegemony in bringing enlightenment to the world in the name of democracy which you have NOT had since Reagan.
WHAT THE FUCK IS DEMOCRACY when it is owned by Israel?
You 'rattle on' about Europe (your teeth must hurt) and to a certain extent you are right.
ONE fact that you always miss is that we had 2 world wars in Europe................the USA has had NO bombs dropped on them..ever.
Americans are armed to the teeth with guns but these COWARDS sit in their homes hoping all will be well and hoping someone else will be demolished before the USA
What are all your guns for?
Yes we are cowards in Europe BUT the cowardice in the US is second to none!
Jenny: Wow. You advocate getting out guns and going on a shooting spree. You have really learned a lot from living in Europe. Annihilating Washington DC? What,?do you think the politicians there are using civilians as human shields? You are sounding like a version of someone we have all been talking about. Just mow them all down with the excuse that you are just trying to get rid of the "terrorists". I think you are losing it, Jenny. Take some big breaths and think about other ways to resist than going out and shooting everyone in sight.
Isn't that what you do in the US. Shoot kids in schools but none of you can get off your arses to fight your Government?
Yep. Here in North America most of us get up in the morning and we think to ourselves hmmm, I wonder what school I can shoot up today. It really does get exhausting sometimes. Enough to make a person consider moving to Germany or some other nice European country because, you know, Europeans are brave and moral.
"Yes we are cowards in Europe BUT the cowardice in the US is second to none!" - I guess your cowardice should top that of the US's. Since it's you who are stupid enough to suffer from war destruction and not the US.
IDIOT
The US people have guns what are they doing?
Are they on the streets waving their guns around?
NO.
The US Public are waiting for a war far from their mysoginist land.
How's your "IDIOT" disputing what I said?
Who benefited from wars? The USA. Who suffered from them - and does now from all the currently cut ties with Russia? Europe. So who's IDIOT, Jenny? You - Europe. Congratulations, you win the stupid and no one's even close.
As to the guns of the Americans - only the thickest of them believe they are protection from the government. And many are that thick indeed. But those guns are worthless, Jenny. If you hear any American telling you otherwise know right away - it's an IDIOT you're talking to.
Iran either should have used enough force to actually hurt Israel or done nothing.
At least the American hillbilly can tell himself the cold comfort that he is a citizen of the Empire. The euroserf can't even do that, but he still gets slapped around for someone else's empire.
I don't have the knowledge to comment as well as others in this thread so I will just say whatever entities are pulling Israel's strings "They are Stark Raving Mad". They should have no allies in their madness.
Biden won’t be making any demands against Israel, right before an election where some of his biggest donors are Jewish. He’ll continue to walk the tight-rope until after November.
None of this makes sense - why would Iran retaliate but cause no harm when in fact they have the capability of annihilating Israel? Something stinks here! Furthermore, since when are we quoting let alone putting an ounce of credence in NBC - mainstream media in addition to the WH and or Biden? Have I been asleep - when did any of these have even a modicum of credibility?
What was even more alarming was this
"And thank all that is holy for that. A war between the US alliance and Iran and its allies would be the stuff of nightmares, making the horrors we’ve been seeing in Gaza these last six months look like an episode of Peppa Pig."
So instead, the people of Gaza continued to be slaughtered? When is anyone else's life greater than theirs? How does anyone expect this to end if not war? Does anyone truly believe a cease fire would work let alone last? Or that all will and should be forgiven? Those 100,000 Palestinians lives didn't matter? Because we all know the figure is much higher than what is being broadcast.
Unlike the people of Gaza the people of Israel have every chance to leave and escape. Already one million have fled to Europe and the USA and the rest should follow suit. The time has come to put an end to all the people completely responsible for their murder of these innocent civilians. If you're worried about an eventual attack and or WWII then leave now. You reap what you sow.
I'm skeptical this rational thinking will last long. My doubts are high.
